Family, Fishing and Making Wine

“To him, all good things – trout as well as eternal salvation – come by grace and grace comes by art and art dose not come easy." -  Norman Mclean

For me life boils down the three things. Family, Fishing and Making wine. Red Band Cellars is the Fait Complis of all that I love and the way I express myself.

Washington State has diverse growing areas that allow for wines of character and diverse flavors and textures. The Columbia Valley wines are generous, fruity and priced for every day. The Walla Walla Wines are Savory, refined and intense, fitting for the finest occasion.
